High School Worksheets and Printables | Education.com - 1 views

  •  
    French beginner worksheets. Very simple to the point of being childlike (even though they are listed for high-schoolers). Sometimes, I just need a simple sheet of something in class. They can pobably also be used in one of the tools we have been looking at. As always, remember to quote your source when using.

Using Teachers Pet - 4 views

  •  
    "This is a step by step guide on how to use Teacher's Pet, a fantastic toolbar for Microsoft Word or Open Office which cleverly uses macros to create language learning exercises in a matter of clicks. A wonderful timesaver for busy teachers, Teacher's Pet is ideal for preparing paper worksheets instantly or for using on the interactive whiteboard as a starter or plenary. By simply highlighting some text and clicking one of the exercise types on the toolbar's dropdown menu, you can produce activities which practice vocabulary revision, grammar, reading comprehension, spelling and dictionary skills."

Kalinago English: 10 Speaking English Activities using TED.com - 1 views

    • danigeary
       
      Extensive worksheets can take away from the authentic experience of learning from the speaker.

      Use opinions to heighten interest.
  • I really don't think that extensive worksheets provide a particularly authentic experience - such a thing mainly just erodes the power of the message within the video, takes away the inherent pleasure in learning from TED speakers.

  • choose an interesting video
  • Ask them what they think the speaker will be discussing and why they think this.   Do they have any pre-formed opinions on the subject matter?  After watching, get them to talk about whether or not the video met their expectations.  Why, why not?
  • While watching, any video you've chosen, ask them to write ten words they found most interesting / or ten words they didn't understand / or ten words which they think would summarize the story.  
  • Show the video and ask your students what the main points discussed in the video were.  Ask them to choose sides on these - to take an opposing view from others in the classroom and to debate it.
  • Watch one of videos marked as informative and get them to write down questions while-watching and post-viewing.

      A comprehensive way to cover the material. Includes many points of conversation.
  • who/what/where/when/why/how   Show the video you've (or one of your students') chosen and tell them they shouldn't write anything down while they're watching. After the video is finished, ask students to sit in groups and discuss what they watched, who was the presenter, why did she make this speech, how effective was it: encourage them to ask each other questions and share opinions.
  •  
    This is a great interpersonal activity, although I would imagine student reactions to it may vary. For instance, some students (like me) may find it stressful not to write things down. On the other hand, not writing things down takes the pressure off for being "perfect" and puts the attention on the spontaneous nature of the interpersonal mode.

Cool Tools - Collaborating with Padlet | TESL Ontario Blog - 3 views

  • An unlimited number of users can contribute to a padlet at the same time, making collaborative work very easy.
    • lars3969
       
      I wonder what a good group size would be for most Padlet activities? If it's sort of a social media feed like the one I created for class, I suppose it could be everyone. If it's creating a digital poster, groups of three might work well.
  •   No account necessary to collaborate
    • lars3969
       
      This really does make things easier. My students had trouble remembering passwords to things this summer, so it's great when there is no login required.
  • adding example sentences to a shared class padlet
    • lars3969
       
      I don't quite understand this use of Padlet. Why not just use Google Docs? I think Padlet is useful because it allows students to include multimedia.

      I would add that another benefit is how sleek it can look. It's amazing how much design can make a difference in educational activities.

      It seems that Padlet has a Power-Point/Prezi-like option for creating presentations. I'll have to look more into that.
  • I fill those padlets up with a variety of learning materials including photos, YouTube videos, quizzes, worksheets and step-by-step instructions.

      I love the idea of adding videos to Padlet. I haven't tried this yet. So many ideas!

Everything You Need to Know About Building a Great Screencast Video | Cult of Pedagogy - 10 views

      One of the hardest things for me to get past! It helps to hear the affirmation that a few stumbles will make the final product more genuine....

    These are good tips to keep in mind as I plan my online classes for fall.

    I really appreciated reading this as I just tried recording my first screencastify minilecture yesterday and found it really challenging! One tip that I got from this that I will try is to put the recording in EdPuzzle so that I can put in some comprehension checks!
  •  
    I found this to be a very informative and helpful article with lots of practical suggestions and useful links. I wish I had read this before I tried to make videos with Screencast-o-Matic for my classes this past Spring. I could have used his suggestions! I will definitely be referring to it when I begin to make videos for my classes this fall. I too liked how he put his video into EdPuzzle to increase student interactivity. Thanks for sharing it!

    Hey this is really useful. I have a feeling that I'm going to be using screencasts often as I convert all my teaching to online in the fall. It will be most useful for grammar explanation types of lessons. It looks like it is just what is needed to fill that need for personal explanations that the students want. I prefer interactive worksheets but I get the feeling students don't like them as much as I do.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing! This will come in handy as I'm prepping for hybrid teaching this fall.

    I used Screencast-o-matic for sharing my presentation while creating a video and it was a great program. Kaltura is also a great way to create presentations.
